An earthquake with a magnitude of 6.7 on the Richter scale occurred in the New Caledonia region. The epicenter was located 74 kilometers east-northeast of the settlement of Tadi, with hypocenter coordinates at 21.313° south latitude and 168.554° east longitude. The depth of the hypocenter was approximately 10 kilometers. According to data from the United States Geological Survey (USGS), the PAGER (Prompt Assessment of Global Earthquakes for Response) system assigned a green alert level to the event, indicating minimal probability of significant casualties and destruction. The ShakeMap intensity map recorded a maximum estimated intensity level of VI on the scale, corresponding to strong but not catastrophic shaking. According to the "Did You Feel It?" (DYFI) system, based on eyewitness reports, the maximum recorded intensity reached VII on the scale — to date, 14 reports have been received from people who felt the ground tremors. This indicates that the earthquake was felt quite strongly in the immediate vicinity of the epicenter. No information about casualties or damage has been reported so far. New Caledonia is located in a seismically active region of the Pacific Ocean, where earthquakes of similar magnitude occur relatively regularly due to tectonic activity in the Pacific Ring of Fire zone.
